In God, My Faithful God
Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 6.6.7.7.7.7 Appears in 25 hymnals Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 3:3 Lyrics: 1 In God, my faithful God,
I trust when dark my road;
Great woes may overtake me,
Yet He will not forsake me.
My troubles He can alter;
His hand lets nothing falter.
2 My sins fill me with care,
Yet I will not despair.
I build on Christ, who loves me;
From this rock nothing moves me.
To Him I will surrender,
To Him, my soul's defender.
3 If death my portion be,
It brings great gain to me;
It speeds my life's endeavor
To live with Christ forever.
He gives me joy in sorrow,
Come death now or tomorrow.
4 O Jesus Christ, my Lord,
So meek in deed and word,
You suffered death to save us
Because Your love would have us
Be heirs of heav'nly gladness
When ends this life of sadness.
5 "So be it," then, I say
With all my heart each day.
Dear Lord, we all adore You,
We sing for joy before You.
Guide us while here we wander
Until we praise You yonder.

Awake, Thou Spirit, Who Didst Fire
Author: Carl H. von Bogatzky; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 22 hymnals Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 3:1 Lyrics: 1 Awake, Thou Spirit, who didst fire
The watchmen of the Church’s youth,
Who faced the Foe’s envenomed ire,
Who witnessed day and night Thy truth,
Whose voices loud are ringing still
And bringing hosts to know Thy will.
2 Lord, let our earnest prayer be heard,
The prayer Thy Son hath bid us pray;
For, lo, Thy children’s hearts are stirred
In ev'ry land in this our day
To cry with fervent soul to Thee,
Oh, help us, Lord! So let it be!
3 Oh, haste to help ere we are lost!
Send preachers forth, in spirit strong,
Armed with Thy Word, a dauntless host,
Bold to attack the rule of wrong;
Let them the earth for Thee reclaim,
Thy heritage, to know Thy name.
4 And let Thy Word have speedy course,
Thro' every land be glorified,
Till all the heathen know its force
And fill Thy churches far and wide.
Oh, spread the conquest of Thy Word
And let Thy kingdom come, dear Lord!
Amen. Topics: The Church Missions Used With Tune: ALL EHR' UND LOB

"He knoweth our frame"
Author: Frances R. Havergal Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 3:13 First Line: Yes, he knows the way is dreary Lyrics: 1 Yes, he knows the way is dreary,
Knows the weakness of our frame,
Knows that hand and heart are weary,
He in all points felt the same.
He is near to help and bless;
Be not weary, onward press.
2 Look to him, who once was willing
All his glory to resign,
That, for thee the law fulfilling,
All his merit might be thine.
Strive to follow, day by day,
Where his footsteps mark the way.
3 Look to him, the Lord of Glory,
Tasting death to win thy life;
Gazing on that wondrous story,
Canst thou falter in the strife?
Is it not new life to know
That the Lord hath loved thee so?
4 Look to him, and faith shall brighten,
Hope shall soar, and love shall burn,
Peace once more thy heart shall lighten;
Rise, he calleth thee, return!
Be not weary on thy way;
Jesus is thy strength and stay. Topics: Assurance Urged; Christ Character of; Christ Sympathy of; Christians Love for Christ; Communion of Saints With Christ Used With Tune: GRANGE

Hold On
Author: John P. Ellis Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 3:13 First Line: If your hand’s on the plow, hold on, hold on Refrain First Line: Hold on, hold on, my brother, hold on Lyrics: 1 If your hand’s on the plow, hold on, hold on;
Tho’ the soil may be sterile and hard,
The plow share will make
The fallow ground break,
And the plowman will have his reward.
Earth’s bosom will sparkle with emerald green,
And its grain will be golden king;
The reapers will come with loud “Harvest Home,”
And the gleaners will joyfully sing.
Refrain:
Hold on, hold on, my brother, hold on,
Hold on till the prize is won;
Hold on to the plow,
And weary not now,
For the work is almost done.
2 If your heart’s in the work, hold on, hold on;
Tho’ the way should be gloomy and sad,
A light will appear,
The pathway be clear,
And the heart of the worker be glad.
Heav’n’s portals will open, and music resound,
And the mansions of bliss will ring
With praise for the brave, who labor to save,
And the angels will joyfully sing. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [If your hand’s on the plow, hold on, hold on]

inviting God's world to the glorious feast.

through sorrow and joy,
extending God's love to the last and the least.

a lamp for the heart and a light for the feet.
We learn, year by year,
to let love shine through
until we see Christ in each person we meet.

the wealthy, the poor,
the busy, the lonely, and all who need care.
We offer a home
to those who will come,
our hands quick to help, our hearts ready to dare.

we witness and work,
remembering Jesus, in whom we grow strong.
